A Van-Dweller at Duke

Photo by Ken Ilgunas

Ken Ilgunas lives in 15,000 dollar Ford Econoline Van at Duke University.

'Living on the cheap wasn't merely a way to save money and stave off debt; I wanted to live adventurously. I wanted to test my limits. I wanted to find the line between my wants and my needs. I wanted, as Thoreau put it, "to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life … to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms."'

  2. Have you ever considered about including a little
    bit more than just your articles? I mean, what
    you say is valuable and everything. However think of if you added some great
    visuals or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.

    Great blog!
